Il Mulino dei Pini In Segrate

I had the pleasure of being invited to a graduation. In addition to the main restaurant, they have a separate, beautifully appointed room exclusively for events. I really enjoyed the food, especially the flavor and variety (they especially served vegetarian options, which I was truly surprised by and gladly tried, as they were very inviting). The price paid by the guests per person was truly fair, and in my opinion, it was close to breaking even, at least for the quantity (I can't judge the quality, but I assume it's no different). I can definitely recommend it for an event, and I think it's equally valid for a private dinner.

If you don't mind the area and sit down, you'll have the opportunity to sample several local dishes. The service was really slow; okay, it was a Sunday lunch, but we finished at 4:00 PM...practically a wedding. The quality of the dishes, I'd say, is average, as is the price list. In short, you decide whether to try it or not.

On the recommendation of my lawyer (a great foodie and friend), I dined at this restaurant a few days ago with my wife, my brother, and his family, my guests. They serve some Lombard dishes, which I'm not particularly fond of, even though I'm from Milan; but I found some things on the menu that I liked. We had a great time, in a unique setting (a former farmhouse and/or mill); part of the building is over 100 years old; another part (I believe used for receptions, weddings, etc.), if I understood correctly, is as old as 500. The place, thanks to its decor, brightness (large windows), and atmosphere, is very pleasant and not particularly noisy. The service is good, with kind, friendly, and fast waitresses. We tried some appetizers, some first courses (my cheese-filled ravioli were very good, with an excellent tomato sauce), and some second courses: nothing disappointed us! Unfortunately, I can't drink alcohol anymore, but they seem to have a decent wine cellar, although my guests tried the house wine, which seemed pleasant. The bill was also absolutely reasonable (around €40/50-55). The only small flaw is that the menu consists of a limited number of dishes, which guarantees the freshness of the ingredients, but I would have liked to have a little more variety (if possible, even some fish dishes, which I love). It's an experience I recommend to everyone!

Unsurpassed location, rustic but well maintained, medium-high quality, worth trying
